The Review

If you like Paris Je’Taime, then this movie is along the line of the romantic classic.

While the predecessor “Paris Je’Taime” took place in Paris, “New York, I Love You” is of various stories that reflects the aspects of love, all happening in the city that never sleeps, New York, or specifically in Manhattan.

You’ll be impressed with the ensemble cast such as James Caan, Chistina Rcci, Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Ethan Hawke to Shia LaBeouf.

The various short stories pans out well, despite being fast-paced. You’ll smile at its sweet moments, and chuckle at the many funny entertaining scenes.

This is a movie of great performances, there were some surprises, the chemistry on-screen was superb, and you’ll want to watch it again.
